Unable to locate the source of the sound after checking the engines, he continued his drive after the noise subsided. An hour later, Montero heard meowing again and decided to take his car to a mechanic, where they located the kitten and worked for 40 minutes to extract the animal.

Montero told Storyful he was "glad" the animal was safe, adding: "There just no way in good faith that I could continue to drive the Jeep knowing that kitten was in trouble."
